Effect of different phases of menstrual cycle on brainstem auditory evoked response

Brainstem auditory evoked responses in different phases of menstrual cycle.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials (BAEP) show variations with age, sex and other physiological factors. The gonadal steroids may also alter the neuronal functioning, but an electrophysiological evidence is sparse. This study was undertaken to analyze the auditory evoked response in females of the reproductive age group during four different hormonal states of the me...

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Responses in Different Phases of Menstrual Cycle

Effect of Stimulus Polarity on Speech Evoked Auditory Brainstem Response

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of stimulus polarity on speech evoked auditory brainstem response (ABR). In order to accomplish it, speech evoked ABR was recorded with various stimulus polarities from 17 normally hearing adults. The result of the study shows differential effect of stimulus polarity on components of speech evoked ABR. Latency of peaks for onset, sustai...

auditory brainstem responses during menstrual cycle and pregnancy

background and aim: the sexual hormones alter during menstrual cycle and pregnancy. despite the physiological benefits of these changes, their adverse effects on hearing system such as hearing loss and vertigo have been reported. therefore, in this study, the auditory brainstem responses (abr) were investigated during physiological hormonal variations in the menstrual cycle as well as pregnancy...

Brainstem auditory evoked response: application in neurology.

The technique that we use for eliciting brainstem auditory evoked responses (BAERs) is described. BAERs are a non-invasive and reliable clinical test when carefully performed. This test is indicated in the evaluation of disorders which may potentially involve the brainstem such as coma, multiple sclerosis, posterior fossa tumors and others. Unsuspected lesions with normal radiologic studies (in...
